Misconception

If a near death experience on a remote beach in East Timor isn’t overwhelming enough – finding out she’s pregnant and having no memory of the incident that led to it – just some weird, weird dreams – is pretty much all Amelia can handle right now.

At 3am, in the middle of a river in the Liquica district of East Timor, Mick has a run in with a flash-flood—one that separates him from his unit and lands him, wounded, in a nunnery.

In the months following his accident, Mick can’t get what happened at the nunnery out of his mind. Dosed up on opium tea by the well-meaning nuns, he’s sure a beautiful woman came to his room and seduced him, but then again – maybe it was all a hallucination.
